Wife joins Army after husband loses leg in Iraq

SAN ANTONIO — More than a year after infantryman Alejandro Albarran lost part of his right leg to a blast in Iraq, he still hasn't decided whether he'll stay in the Army.
"Right now, I'm leaning against it," Albarran said, looking ahead with distaste to a possible desk job.
But whatever he decides, Spc. Albarran, 20, won't be leaving Army life behind now that his wife enlisted to take his place among the ranks.
"After everything he's gone through — and he loves the Army — he kind of inspired me," Janay Albarran said. "I made him a promise that I would finish what he started."
Editor's Note -- What an inspiration! At a recent family event, I met a sergeant recently returned from Iraq. In his full dress uniform, he was a poster-soldier for the kind of military that makes all so very proud; just as this young couple does. It means so much to see this dedication and valor in the face of the poor-mouthing the media and left-wing politicians are giving our soldiers.
